October Happy Hour at 8.0
|
|
Oh, to be outside on a beautiful autumn evening . . . Well, we were and it was great! On October 9th the FWTCLA hosted its monthly social on the shaded patio of 8.0 Restaurant and Bar in downtown Fort Worth. Over 40 Young Lawyers and other professionals attended, and the weather was perfect for outside networking and live music. In addition, Jennifer Willingham, the Chair of our Halo Society Project, collected diapers, baby products, and clothes, as well as over $90 to support the Halo Society, a non-profit organization in Tarrant County.
Compass Bank generously sponsored the event, and we extend a huge thank you to Compass Bank representative Henry Barbolla, III and his team in Compass Bank's Wealth Management Group. Henry and the rest of the Compass Bank Wealth Management Group stand ready to assist all TCYLA members with various banking products and services. Of particular interest to FW-TCYLA members might be a special 100% mortgage financing program designed exclusively for young professionals that requires no down payment and no private mortgage insurance on the purchase of your primary residence. If you would like to visit with Henry, he may be reached at (817) 735-0965.
FW-TCYLA would also like to thank Inventus for its professional sponsor board contribution and prompt delivery of same directly to 8.0s. We welcome all new members, including Ryan Hill, Katlyn J. Morgan, and Jeff A. Stewart, who attended the October social and anxiously discussed how their Bar Exam results would soon be discovered. Yikes! Please stay tuned for information on the November Social, which will be held on Thursday, November 12th. See you then! |

Annual Golf Tournament Raises Over $5,000.00 for Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas
|
|
Thank you to everyone who participated in or sponsored the FW-TCYLA’s Annual Golf Tournament!
The tournament was held at Hawks Creek Golf Club in Fort Worth on June 6th, and it was a huge success, raising OVER $5,000.00 for Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas.
Over 94 people participated in the tournament, and a great time was had by all. Team Compass Bank posted a 56 in the scramble to take home 1st Place, earning each player a trophy suitable for public display. The team of Theresa and Chuck Berend & Caroline and Wayne Harrison posted an 84, earning each player the relished bobble-head trophy for Worst Golfer Award. Joy NeSmith won longest Drive and Brad Rice won closest to the Pin. Several lucky participants also took home door prizes donated from Reata, Jos. A. Bank, Dillard’s, and Hawks Creek Golf Club. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly with the high winds, no one won the Silverado Truck on the Holiday Chevrolet Hole-In-One Hole.
This may have been the most successful Tournament in FW-TCYLA history, and the FW-TCYLA and Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas sincerely thank the following sponsors for their support of this year’s tournament. |
